Answering calls for Aussie trades

Your phone rang. You were under a house.

They didn't leave a message. They just called the next person on the list, and that person is doing the job on Thursday.

Nexus picks up every call, text and web chat in about a second, sorts out what the job is, and puts it straight in your ServiceM8 diary. Even at 11pm on a Sunday.

Hi, my hot water system's leaking everywhere. Can someone come out?

That's no good. Have you shut it off at the mains?

Yep, shut it off. I'm in North Gosford.

OK. Dave's free 7:30am tomorrow. Booked you in.

Sound familiar?

Every missed call is a missed opportunity. It's time to work

smarter.

Mid-job interruptions

You're on the roof - hands full, can't answer. They call the next landscaper on Google instead.

Evening admin

You spend your evenings returning texts and doing quotes instead of switching off with the family.

Lost leads

Competitors respond faster and win your jobs - not because they're better, just because they replied first.

No off switch

From school drop-off to bedtime, work calls persist. The weight of unanswered messages keeps your mind working long after you stop.

Quotes that go cold

You spent an hour pricing the job. They never replied. A quick automated follow-up would have won it.

No-shows & chasing

Customers ghost appointments or forget entirely. You lose half a day and still have to chase payment.

One front desk. Every way a customer tries to reach you.

Ring, text, or message your website - it's all the same conversation,

handled by the same thing, booked into the same diary.

It answers the phone

First ring, any hour, Australian voice, your trade's words. Have it take everything, or just the ones you don't get to.

  • Knows an emergency from a quote

  • Gets the address and the job

  • Puts the good ones through to you

It texts back instantly

If a call ever does slip through, a text lands before they've dialed anyone else - and it keeps going until the job's booked.

  • Replies to every missed call

  • Chases quotes going cold

  • Asks for the review after

Your website books jobs

A chat that answers the "how much" and "when can you come" questions, then locks in a time instead of dumping a form on you.

  • Only quotes what you actually do

  • Qualifies before it books

  • hands over when they want a human

You see the lot

every call, what it was about, what got booked and what it was worth. Recording and transcript on all of them.

  • Booked value by where it came from

  • After hours vs. business hours

  • A summary in your inbox each week

It doesn't sit next to

ServiceM8. It works

inside it.

Other answering services email you a message and call that a lead. You still have to type the job in yourself at 9pm.

Nexus opens the job card, sets the category and urgency, checks who's actually free, books it, and staples the recording to it. You open ServiceM8 in the morning and it's all sitting there.

Not on ServiceM8? We also connect with tools like Tradify, simPRO, ArFlo, Jobber, Gogle and Outlook calendars (support varies by platform)

How it works

Up and running in a week

Three steps to an AI that sounds like you, works for you, and never

takes a day off.

The Chat

We jump on a call to understand your business and figure out what you need - Voice, SMS, Web chat, or any combination, plus channels like WhatsApp and Facebook if that's where your customers are

Our point of difference

The Build - We train it on your business

This is where most AI agencies cut corners - they set up a generic bot and call it done. We don't. Before anything goes live, we deep-dive into your business so the AI genuinely represents you.

Go Live

We connect everything and run live tests with you before switching on. From that point, your phone answers itself - you keep working.

What goes into the build.

Your services

Exactly what you do - and what you don't. No wrong enquiries.

Your tone

Professional, friendly, direct - however you naturally talk to customers.

Your pricing rules

Call-out-fees, after-hours rates, quote-only jobs - all built in.

Your service area

The bot knows where you work and can decline out-of-area requests.

Common questions

FAQ answers specific to your trade so customers get real answers fast.

Your booking process

Where you prefer a callback, a form, or straight into your calendar.

Most AI receptionist just mirror your calendar for display. ServiceM8's own two-way sync doesn't actually exist yet (it's read only), so a double-booking risk is baked into how most people set this up. Yours writes directly into the job, not just the calendar.

Founding Partner

We're only taking on a handful to start with.

Nexus is new. That's exactly why the deal is this good, and exactly why it won't stay this way. Founding partners get our full attention through setup and keep their rate as we grow.

Nothing to set up.

Build, scripting and integration included.

No contract.

Month to month. Walk if it stops paying for itself.

Your price is locked.

It doesn't move when the list price does.

Pick a time.
Fifteen minutes,
no pitch.

We'll ask how your calls come in now, let you hear the thing running live, and tell you straight if it's not worth it for your business.
